#2  Phelps said, I was just "funnin" him, I didn't mean anything by it. I want Schumer's spox.

“I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

A spox for Schumer said: “The senator meant only that there would be a “political price Republicans will pay putting them on the court.”

Mid-crisis, Democrat Super PAC to Spend $5 Million Attacking Trump over Coronavirus
[Breitbart] A Democratic Party-aligned super PAC plans to spend $5 million on digital advertising to attack President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus outbreak ‐ even as the nation struggles with the growing public health threat.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday:

A Democratic super PAC said Tuesday it would spend $5 million on digital advertising flaying President Trump for his response to the novel coronavirus, one of several groups that planned to devote resources to this type of messaging.

...

McGowan said it was critical for outside groups like hers to exact a political price on Trump as his possible Democratic opponents, former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), aim to project leadership by staying above the fray.

Biden and Sanders have hardly stayed "above the fray." Neither has offered support to the president, and both have been scathing in their attacks.

Biden ‐ who called Trump's January travel ban on China "hysterical" and "racist" ‐ criticized the president and released his own plan, while opposing travel bans from China, Europe, "or any other part of the world."

#1  Never let a crisis go to waste, huh?
Posted by: DarthVader || 03/18/2020 12:09 Comments || Top||

#2  Maybe if the Democrats and their media lackeys didn't try to blame coronavirus on Trump I'd have an easier time believing there are good reasons why I must shelter in place for the next two weeks. As it is; after the Russian collusion hoax, the Covington kids, the Kavanaugh fiasco and the phony impeachment they have no credibility. Even when Trump says it I'm reluctant to believe it because I wonder if he's capitulating to the political pressure. It is a sad thing when you watch TV or read the newspaper and you can't believe it.

#3  Disgraceful.
Posted by: Lex || 03/18/2020 15:16 Comments || Top||

#4  And how much will the media spend attacking Trump? For example I keep seeing qoutes that Trump slashed the CDC's pandemic budget. A lie which CNN has been spouting.

And here I thought Biden was Mr. "Full of Shit".

#5  Obama didn't do a good job of handling Swine Flu (H1N1) or the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. Dems ought to shut their collective pie holes and do something useful; otherwise they are a part of the problem.

MN Rep Jason Lewis Reproaches 2 Democrats for Politicizing Coronavirus

Cory Booker wants to give you money to get through the coronavirus crisis
[NJ] U.S. Sen. Cory Spartacus Booker
U.S. Senator-for-Life from Noo Joisey, formerly the mayor of Newark. Booker was a candidate for president in the 2020 Dem primary, running on a platform of Make America Newark. He once wrote an essay on how to grope babes and is noted for having an imaginary friend named T-Bone...

crisis.

Booker joined several of his fellow wardheelers Tuesday in urging Senate leaders to pass legislation providing every American with an immediate $2,000 cash payment, and it could grow to $4,500 by the end of the year if the crisis doesn’t abate.

"In mere days, we’ve gone from life as normal to implementing dramatic changes in how we work, socialize, and live," said Booker, D-N.J. "The ramifications to our economy ‐ and to the millions of American workers and businesses who underpin it ‐ are massive and require a large-scale, aggressive federal response."

The money would be paid to every U.S. adult and dependent, as well as every Social Security, Veterans Affairs, or Supplemental Security Income recipient.

The funds automatically would go to those who file tax returns for 2019. Those who do not file a return could submit a separate Form 1040. The payment would phased out for those with higher incomes.

"Workers have seen their hours cut or eliminated entirely, and millions of American families are assessing how they will weather a potentially long-lasting economic paralysis," the senators wrote to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 44.28144 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...

#7  This would not be a complete solution but a good starting point would be for every member of Congress and every senior federal executive -- whose jobs are completely secure and highly compensated-- to adopt a family affected by the quarantine. Senator Booker, for example, would be responsible for paying the bills of Bubba Jones, whose small restaurant in Fairhope, Alabama, has shut down because of the quarantine.

"How much do you need this week, Bubba?"

"Well, Senator, the tires on my son's pickup are totally shot. I'd say abut $800."

"On its way, Bubba. But for gosh sake peel the Confederate flag off the bumper."

#8  Fartacus is very good at squandering millions - not just a couple million but $100 million - in other people's money.

Even his allies on the left want to know what Fartacus did with the $100 million in Church-indulgence-cum-virtue-signaling he scammed out of Zuckerberg and his wannabe politico Sheryl Sandberg in 2010.

Sandberg, recall, was one of three Silicon Valley lefty billionaires who reached out during the Kavanaugh farce to that lying slandering whore, Blowsey - her fellow HS girls' nickname for their slutty friend - Ford and put her on their private jet, flying this claimed fear-of-flying sufferer 6 hours to D.C. so she could destroy an innocent man with lies and hallucinations on national television.

We have the stupidest and shittuest political class in memory.

Senator Fartacus, the once and future Slush Fund King of Newark-BINASH, is Exhibit A for this moronic and corrupt political class.
